dead body was found; and where an inquest
shall be held on any dead body, the Coroner or
Justice of the Peace holding the same shall
notify to the Registrar of the District the
Verdict of the Jury, with all other particulars
required to be registered concerning the Death,
and such Registrar shall make the entry in his
Register Book accordingly, and the same shall
be signed by the Coroner or Justice of the
Peace, by whom the information has been
given."

SECTION XX.

Every Registrar, immediately upon regi-
stering any death, or as soon thereafter as he
shall be required so to do, shall without fee or
reward deliver to the person giving informa-
tion, or to the undertaker or other person hav-
ing charge of the funeral, a certificate under
his hand according to the form in Schedule C,
hereto annexed, that such death has been
duly registered; and such Certificate shall be
delivered by such undertaker or other person
to the minister or officiating person who shall
be required to bury or perform any funeral or
religious service for the burial; and if any
dead body shall be buried, for which no certifi-
cate shall have been so delivered, the person
who shall bury the same, or perform any fune-
ral or religious service for the burial, or who
shall in any other way dispose of the body,
shall forthwith give notice of the facts to the
Registrar: Provided always, that the Coroner
or Justice of the Peace holding any inquest
upon any dead body for which no Certificate
shall have been delivered as aforesaid, may
order the body to be buried, if he shall think
fit, before registration; and shall in such case

his hand in the form in Schedule D, hereto
annexed, to the undertaker or other person
having charge of the funeral.
